Does everyone go through this? I can not seem to stay warm short of long pants, thick socks, a sweat shirt, and a blanket! I'm not running a fever, I keep checking and it's normal, but I am freezing! We keep our house at 80 degrees during the day and I am still cold!! Is this going to get worse when I start losing more weight?? Thank god I live in Florida, I can at least go outside and warm up a little in the blazing heat!

I have had a few times where that was the case for me but not often.

I'm 10 months out and STILL cold! My wife likes to sleep with the air conditioner on at night and I'm absolutely a MIKE-SICLE in the morning!

I didnt know being cold was part of the course after surgery, BUT I am looking forward to it!!! I am always burning up and so afraid that once I hit my menopause I am just going to melt like the wicked witch.

Cant wait to be cold in California

I'm looking forward to it also. I just think warm thoughts and I sweat. Hope you feel better soon.

I sure didn't notice it after losing just 30 lbs., but it's been my long-term reality postop. I'm always colder than everyone else. Losing the layer of insulation was part of it, but I believe it has to do with our body's adaptation to being thin after being obese for so long. But a lot of skinny people who were never obese tend to be cold more often.

Living in AZ it's kind of nice You'll probably find it a consistent reality after WLS, it's been mine ever since reaching goal (and before that too, don't know at what point in the weight loss).

Totally normal!

I was always the person that NEVER had a coat on during the winter...now that I'm post-op I'm that weird chick at the soft-ball complex that is wearing a heavy jacket, sweatshirt, AND gloves and is still complaining about how cold it is!! Yep, get used to the weird looks you're gonna get.

Before surgery, I froze everyone at home. Hubby would bundle up to keep warm because I was friggin hot!

But now, I tend to get cold very easily. Hubby had to take a picture of me in my robe and slippers because I was cold and HE was hot!

Go figure!

Happiness keeps you sweet, trials keep you strong. Sorrows keep you human, failures keep you humble. Success keeps you glowing.

Duckie solved the problem and now we have a club! lol For The Eternally Cold People!!!!
